kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings
Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly. The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line has been discarded or printed to replace the break character. However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment accordingly. Fixes: fb6daa7520f9d ("kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200909141708.338273-1-daniel.thompson@linaro.org Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org>
